The Sixth took an unusual step during the [[War of Davion Succession]]. After [[Stephan Hasek]] died in a [[DropShip]] accident, the Sixth redeployed itself from [[New Syrtis]] to the [[Pleiades Cluster]] to protect his (unborn) heir. After [[Rita Hasek]] was born, the Sixth provided her protective detail wherever she went. As she also served in the Sixth, the unit received the unofficial nickname of "Rita's Retainers."<ref name="ER:2750p45">''Era Report: 2750'', p. 45</ref>

As part of [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE]] the Sixth reinforced the [[Illician Lancers]] at [[Hexare]]. They fought [[Paget's Dragoons]] on the world, and though they fought well, the collapse of other aspects of SOVEREIGN JUSTICE forced the two units to leave the world to the [[Capellan Confederation]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 30</ref> This fighting left the unit understrength in BattleMechs in [[3079]], but the Sixth retained nearly the full allotment of conventional and AeroSpace forces assigned to an RCT. As such, the Sixth wasn't reorganized into a [[Light Combat Team]] but remained a full Regimental Combat Team. This allowed them to retain their honor guard duties, which they had performed for 120 years. At the same time, they could deploy part of their force to garrison Hadnall.<ref>''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 15</ref> In [[3085]], the Sixth was the most experienced Syrtis Fusiliers unit, and served as the honor guard on [[New Syrtis]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 63</ref>

The Sixth assaulted [[Victoria (CC)|Victoria]] during the Dark Age. They faced the [[Warrior House Kamata]], [[Kingston's Rangers|Kingston's]], and [[Sung's Rangers]] around the city of Barns. A surprise assault by a platoon of CCAF [[Predator (Combat Vehicle)|Predator]] tank destroyers inflicted heavy losses on one of the Sixth's cavalry battalions, destroying nearly half the unit.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', p. 14</ref> During that same conflict, [[Warrior House Kamata]] took advantage of a gap between the Sixth and the [[Forty-second Avalon Hussars]] to hit both [[AFFS]] units in the flanks and then withdraw before they could react.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', p. 44</ref>

When the Capellan Confederation assaulted the Capellan March, the Sixth was stationed near [[St. Ives]] and stranded by a lack of transportation. They solved this problem by taking two [[JumpShip]]s from [[Warrior House Imarra]] when that unit arrived at their garrison. The Sixth then went to [[Wappingers]], where they engaged the Imarra soldiers. The fighting lasted long enough for New Syrtis to fall and for Duchess Hasek to be killed. This inability to defend their homeworld or liege lord destroyed the Sixth's morale.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 78</ref> The Sixth was recuperating on [[Carmacks]].<ref name="FM:3145p90"/>

The Sixth Fusiliers returned to New Syrtis in March [[3151]], along with Alexander, who soon became the new Duke of the Capellan March. The Sixth was one of the units chosen by Hasek to unilaterally invade the [[Taurian Concordat]], beginning the [[Pleiades War]]. However, the unit's situation was far from ideal: recently, Alexander had created a new offensive unit, the [[Syrtis Scourge]], loyal only to him... drawing the best soldiers from the Sixth, so they were critically weakened. The two -understrength- regiments were the only ones the Duke took in his invasion, departing on 20 June.<ref>''Dominions Divided'' pp. 23–35</ref>

However, the invasion of the [[Pleiades Cluster]] went well, initially: taking advantage of surprise, they took the planet [[Electra]] easily. Hasek left the Sixth on the planet as garrison, after setting up a command post, while he continued forward, taking only the Scourge to [[Maia]].<ref>''Dominions Divided'' p. 34</ref>

On 21 August, heavy Taurian forces arrived on Electra. Unable to hold against several regiments, General Duran retreated into the Delphine Gorge, but after the Taurians informed him that they had destroyed the Scourge on Maia and captured Hasek, the demoralized general parlayed with the [[Third Taurian Lancers]] to retreat to Federated Suns space, abandoning the planet and the Pleiades Cluster. That put an end to the Suns' offensive part in the war.<ref>''Dominions Divided'' p. 41</ref>
